I have a friend who was raised in the UU, and he told me a story about someone in his congregation questioning their UU minister about their lack of concrete beliefs. The story concluded with this person saying "why don't you just meet on Wednesdays, and call it 'bowling night'?"

The minister's answer back? "Because we find that most of our members have Sundays open on their calendars"

Ha, ha. In my area they gave up having services during summer and instead had Sunday volleyball games and a potluck lunch. Accordingly, they are sometimes referred to as the “Church of the Volleyball.”
